The SCOTUS AA case revealed stat indicating that a number of african americans with high 150 scores got into UVA.

Isn't that wonderful. I had a 163 and I didn't get in, despite being a legacy and having an above-average GPA. I guess my skin was the wrong color. I sure am glad Americans don't discriminate anymore, that would be bad.

Except you have some EXCEPTIONAL reason why you should get into a T14 school, I don't see why you should be admitted to these schools because you are black. If you have what it takes,kudos, if you don't suck it up and move on. By the way, I'm black.

^fixt changed from one ridiculous viewpoint to another even more ridiculous viewpoint

Oh, look at how I can play this game too. Fixt. ^^;;

What makes my perspective on the matter "even more ridiculous"? Absent some significant personal achievements or special characteristics, an applicant with a 163/"above-average GPA" is, at best, a marginal candidate at UVA. (I believe the middle 50% LSAT range is 167-170.) NoUsername's expectation that s/he should get in because s/he is a legacy reveals not only privilege (as a relative of someone who attended this elite institution*) but also an outsize sense of entitlement. Why should s/he get in just because another marginal candidate did? Surely there are plenty of legacy applicants with higher scores or who have something to say about themselves other than their relatives' accomplishments. There are also plenty of people with higher numerical credentials who were rejected.
